  Baynard's Castle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Baynard's Castle was at various times a castle, house and palace that existed on the same site, in the south west corner of the City of London, for 600 years from the time of the Norman Conquest until the Great Fire of London.
It had a strategic position on the bank of the Thames where the city walls came down to the river, by the River Fleet and the Fleet Tower (near the present day Blackfriars station).
Although nothing of the building remains, it can be seen in old views of London, and the name survives as Castle Baynard Street, just south of Queen Victoria Street.

 Florilegium urbanum - Introduction - FitzStephen's Description of London
The western fortresses, likewise probably built by William the Conqueror or with his permission, as part of his early programme to subdue England, were (subsequently) known as Montfichet Castle and Baynard's Castle, both named after families who at one time held the lordships of those fortifications.
Castle Baynard was built in the southwestern corner of the city, just inside the city wall, and its lords later claimed – perhaps with justice – to hold the hereditary generalship of the city militia.
The original castle lasted only to the 13th century, when the site was given to the Dominicans, although a more scaled-down version was later built.
